The Crescent, Ilminster

Stylish inside and out and unusually spacious, this super family size home is well placed on the edge of town, close to open countryside.

The Property - Having been much improved by the current owner, this stylish and well-laid out home is perfect for modern family living. The extended living spaces provide a good level of flexibility of uses, whether you need to work from home or love entertaining. The surprisingly spacious layout allows for three double bedrooms as well as a bright and cheery upstairs bathroom. Located just a short walk from all the town centre facilities as well as the local countryside it has a great deal to offer.

Accommodation - The property features modern grey double glazing, and a stylish front door opens into a classic hallway with practical LVT wood-effect flooring. A convenient downstairs WC includes a contemporary suite, enhanced by fashionable wall panelling.

The generous L-shaped living room offers flexible space—ideal for a large dining table, home office setup, or a play area for younger children. A wood-burning stove creates a cosy focal point and complements the gas central heating during colder months. The bay window captures the morning sunlight and includes chic shutters for added privacy.

Double doors lead into a versatile dining or family room, which opens directly onto the rear garden and connects to the sleek fitted kitchen. The adjoining breakfast/study area adds functionality. The kitchen is well-equipped with a mix of neutral matt and limewashed grey cabinetry, accented by stylish metro tile splashbacks. It includes an integrated dishwasher and designated spaces for a gas range cooker, washing machine, and American-style fridge/freezer.

Upstairs, original stripped period doors add character, while all three double bedrooms have distinct styling. The main bedroom spans the front of the house and boasts a superb range of fitted wardrobes, elegant window shutters, and an eye-catching oak herringbone floor.

The family bathroom is thoughtfully designed to maximise space and includes a modern suite with a shower over the bath, a glass screen, a WC, and a vanity basin.

Outside - The enhancements continue outdoors, where careful planning has created a series of practical and visually appealing spaces for everyday living. By incorporating the side garden and using sleepers to form a retaining wall, a generous, level lawned area has been established—screened from the street by mature evergreen hedging, horizontal timber fencing and apple trees. This leads to a beautifully landscaped area designed for both entertaining and relaxation, bordered by rendered raised beds planted with mature olive trees.

A combination of grey stone chippings, paving, well-designed patio, and circular artificial lawns offers low-maintenance appeal. A curved raised bed with established shrubs adds further interest and structure to the garden, with outside lighting perfect for those long summer evenings.

The timber garage/outbuilding, which benefits from connected power, is accessible from the garden and is complemented by an additional driveway parking area in front.

Situation - A walk of less than a mile down the hill takes you into town, whilst the pedestrian pavement to the south takes you down to the hamlet of Dowlish Ford and to the countryside beyond. The doctors’ surgeries are located not far away along Canal Way, and there is good access for dog walking via local footpaths and the Chard – Ilminster cycle path. The town's Primary School sites are within walking distance, as is the recreation ground.

In the heart of the pretty town centre, the local stores are mostly centred around the market square and 15th century Minster church. There is almost everything you need from an excellent butchers and delicatessen, cheese and dairy shop, homewares and antiques stores, clothes boutiques and gift shops. The town is also well served by a town-centre Tesco store with ample free parking just a short walk from the town centre. Alongside the supermarket is a bowls club and tennis club. Ilminster Arts centre is a vibrant arts venue with licensed cafe. There are plenty of other places to eat and drink including pubs, cafes and takeaways.

The town has several hairdressers / beauty salons and a dental surgery. Ilminster is arguably one of South-Somerset's prettiest market towns and benefits from superb road links via the A303 and A358.
